A senior American official confirmed to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that Israel recently transferred new intelligence to the United States indicating that elements within the Iranian regime discussed a plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to the N12 report. The intelligence represents a further development in threats against the former and current president.
At 01:40 Jerusalem, a senior American official confirmed to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid that Israel recently transferred new intelligence to the United States indicating that elements within the Iranian regime discussed a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to a report on N12. The confirmation follows a series of reports earlier tonight — all published at 00:42 Jerusalem — from the Wall Street Journal and N12 detailing intelligence sharing between Israel and the US on alleged Iranian assassination plots against Trump. The new development adds an on-record American source to the story, which had previously relied on anonymous or media-sourced reports.
The thread began at 00:42 Jerusalem with a Wall Street Journal report that Israel shared intelligence on an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump. Minutes later, N12 confirmed the report. A second WSJ report indicated Israel warned of an additional plot, and a third WSJ report said Israel told the US that Iran is developing a new plan. At 01:12 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported the same, citing the WSJ via Israeli security analyst Yair Goldblatt. The source quality has evolved from anonymous WSJ sourcing to an on-record confirmation from a senior US official.
The intelligence sharing comes amid heightened US-Israel coordination on Iran. As The Zioneer reported on Thu Jul 9 at 18:42 Jerusalem, President Trump was set to receive an Iran intelligence briefing at 19:00 Jerusalem, with a White House source saying the US was preparing for prolonged exchanges. The current confirmation underscores the ongoing assessment of threats against the former and current president.
The intelligence details themselves remain unverified. The confirmation is from a single US official, and the nature of the alleged plot — including whether it represents a new plan or a discussion of an existing one — has not been specified. No independent corroboration of the intelligence content has been provided.
